If you are using iTunes to organize your music, here’s something you may find interesting. Earlier last month I was introduced to this app called TidySongs by Jennifer of Cloudbrain.
TidySongs has a pretty self-descriptive name. It an application with one sole purpose - organizes your iTunes songs. Here’s what TidySongs do:
- Remove duplicated songs
- Fix miss-spelled song names
- Fill up the missing data – artists, years and genres (Something perfectionist collectors will love), and
- The function I like most – Add missing album-art so they look cool in your cover flow.
TidySongs is an Adobe Air application, so it will work well on either Windows, Mac or Linux.
The best part is, all these can be done automatically although you can have a choice to perform them manually. I’ve been using it for about a month now and I thought it’s quite a cool application. So I went ahead and asked if they can give me some free copies so I can give it away to hongkiat readers, and they say – YES :)
How to Win
TidySongs cost $39 per copy and I’ve got 5 licensed copies to giveaway to our readers. If you are interested in winning one, comment in!
Contest starts today, ends 15th February 2010. Good luck!
(Hongkiat)

This software is an upgrade from what used to be FixTunes from Cloudbrain which never worked for me other than causing me more headaches. Although this iteration has a more user friendly GUI I haven’t had much better luck with it. It promises to “fix” songs, find duplicates, missing album art, etc. by connecting to the TidySongs server and comparing your itunes library with their database. It only works within itunes and downloads and installs AdobeAir also… whatever that is. Agreeably, my itunes library was a true test for it as it was a mess… duplicates, partial names, limited album art, etc. I had to run the scan of my itunes library numerous times because it kept dropping the connection to their server…. not necessarily their fault. And if you don’t have a moderately decent fast connection (I didn’t) you have to manually set tidysongs to give each song an appropriate length of time to find the missing info on the server. I had to set mine at 10+ seconds, the downside of this is if it finds the info more quickly you still have to wait for the software to countdown from 10 to zero before it tries the next song. I have over 9,000 songs so… hmmm…. let’s do the math… over 24 hr’s of solid scan time to get through my itunes library. All the time using significant PC resources as both TidySongs and itunes are hogging CPU & memory. Well, if it worked as promised, I could live with that. But the truth is that I have ended up with a worse mess after several attempts. TidySongs creates a couple of playlists within itunes, one called ’songs fixed with tidysongs’, and another called ’skipped songs’… songs it can’t figure out what to do with so it ignores them altogether. The number of songs that TidySongs says that it fixed or skipped is considerablly more than what ends up in the ‘fixed and/or skipped’ playlists so I’m left wondering if it really fixed anything to begin with. And every time I had to relaunch because of a server disconnection it would double the number of songs in my itunes library (don’t ask me how or why)and would start from square one again, ignoring the fact that I had un-checked the “include previously fixed or skipped songs” checkbox. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software to reset the count to zero and start fresh but obviously something in the registry needs deleted to do that because it installed with all the aberrant numbers once again. I ran a scan for duplicates and TidySongs found 28 duplicates in 9,000+ songs in my library….many, many times less than itunes itself found. When I clicked on the ‘help’ tab within TidySongs all I got was an email address to Kelly@TidySongs…. no online support whatsoever. I emailed Kelly and got quick (no weekend support) response to a couple of my initial simple questions. I’m still waiting for answers to the more difficult questions which continued to pop up the more I used the software. So Tidy Songs doesn’t have a clue where it’s at or what it’s doing at this point…. and neither do I… at least with my itunes library. Maybe if you had a small manageable itunes library that pretty much was intact already….. but then why would you need TidySongs…. And at $39 price who needs the added frustration of false promises…. ps…. I just searched youtube for TidySongs tutorials and everyone of them has been disabled for comments…. does that tell you anything?
